Only one time in scripture does Jesus tell anyone to go and tell what he has done (Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: (Matthew 11:4 NKJV) but over and over you see that Jesus told other not to tell anyone what he had done.
( Matthew 12:16 and Mark 3:12 after healing many people.
Matthew 16:20, Mark 8:30, and Luke 9:21 after Peter’s proclamation that Jesus was the Christ (Messiah)
Mark 7:36 after healing a mute and deaf man.
Mark 9:9 after the transfiguration.
Luke 8:56 after raising a girl from the dead. & more)
(From The Berean Call)
People made Jesus famous, through the sharing of what he had done, who he was and that drew people to him...
Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. (Matthew 4:24 NKJV)
He didn't make himself famous, people did! We have to continue it by doing just that "telling others about his love".
But more than that, showing them his love.
We need to tell the world everyday about the crazy love, mercy and grace of God! It's radical but it's what the world needs. We have the remedy so let's share it!!!
